 New Study Reveals The Depth of California Asset Poverty
More Californians are asset poor than income poor. While income poverty is important, the role assets play in poverty alleviation and self-sufficiency has long been neglected. Owning assets builds strong communities and gives families the resources needed to create a future for themselves and their children. The Corporation for Enterprise Development, a national nonprofit economic development policy group, has released a new report card comparing state policies and performance with respect to how assets are accumulated, distributed, and protected among their citizens, particularly among those often left out of the economic mainstream. For more information on the State Asset Report Card, visit www.sadrc.cfed.org.

GiveKidsGoodSchools.com is a new campaign that aims to improve the quality of public education for kids nationwide, starting with putting a good teacher in every classroom. Please take 30 seconds and send an e-mail asking your governor to make good teachers a top priority.
